Featured review
Beautiful production. Let down by anachronistic 21st century language and behaviour
Pretty lead actor but totally lacking the literary marvel of Dickensian English.
The BBC can't help but dumb down a lot of their recent content to make it more politically correct and attract the Eastenders audience.
The behaviour is by and by that of contemporary people in a 19th century setting and as usual it jarrs.
